I guess this is a bit provocative here. But since some body wrote about Modo in here and made me look at it in the first place the question seems legit. So I have been messing around with Maya trying to learn the basics for some months(on and off in my spare time). And hear about Modo a few days back. After toying around with modo the interface for modelling seems so much more elegant and clever. But it is also much cheaper so I assume there is a serious backside to Modo, right? Please stack up the things that Maya does better than Modo so I don't feel like I have to abandon ship even before I begin my cruise on the 3D oceans.
